that works for certain, bermag. i have +20ish intim. attachments and i pretty much land it within two attempts..on whatever my target is.
takes longer w/out the intim bonuses.
Unfortunately, I don't want anything at all to do with melee.. but I am also a master commando, so I got that intimidate going and man is it a life saver. You really can't stress enough how important intimidate is. I also find that instead of standing up, I change to kneeling, and that usually gets me up and firing again (works about 80% of the time, where standing straight up never works).

as i have been a space head past few months, whats with the mini-suits??
a bug - currently gloves and boots cover the entire action pool, the torso covers the health pool and the helm the entire mind pool.
this of course creates an even more unfair situation for the trandoshan and wookiee races. so it will be fixed but for now if you wear just those 4 items it is the equivalent of wearing all 9 items (and for good measure this bug as has a strange sideeffect - if you wear any piece outside those 4 you actually gain armor holes....)

hi bermag.
They absolutely do work. MBrawler has a much larger chance of landing its intimidate than a novice. But either way its not too hard.
The other day i took on a giant canyon krayte, was doin great, i dont use SS2 on large targets, instead use HS3, plus MS1&2 for the secondaries bleeds. Its more efficient to hit one pool than to shoot a random pool, unless you are trying to outdamage someone.
So i kitied the bugger, eventually i had the krayte to a walk, then i could stop spam HS3 a few times, run up ahead and repeat! was great fun, sure it would have taken a while, but Ranger requires a masterd novice profession(scout) so i lack the SP to put into other profs for the defences. Eventually i came accross a Rebal base, and decided to get the krayte to agro the base turret...it worked!! so i slowly worked the kraytes mind, and voilat!!! i got a premium pearl! not to shabby.
Then i tried my strategy against an ancient...and.....i failed miserable LOL.
